How it works
We provide experienced consultants who are employed by us and deployed to you on a contingent basis. All our consultants are fully vetted before deployment.
Our experienced consultants are available for mid to long-term assignments, typically six months or longer, and make an impact from day one. Because our consultants are permanently employed by us, we take on all compliance risk, including co-employment and IR35. This gives you complete peace of mind.
Unlike traditional consultancies, you have the option to convert consultants to permanent employees at the end of the agreed term. This helps you build long-term capability while trialing talent before making a commitment.
Key benefits
- Save up to 15% compared to hiring contractors
- A hassle-free and flexible way to ramp your talent requirements up or down
- Consultants are available for placements of six months or longer
- Mitigation against IR35/Agency Workers Regulations (AWR)/co-employment legislation risk
- Single channel through services procurement/SOW or MSP
- Consultant objectives can be aligned with bonus payments
What makes our solution different?
Powered by data
We make data-driven decisions to optimize your hiring processes and deliver the talent you need effectively and efficiently.

We have partnerships with the leading VMS providers to ensure the right solution is delivered for your unique requirements.
In addition to this, our RW Plus platform provides dynamic modules for each stage of the talent lifecycle, from route classification through to onboarding. RW Plus can work alongside and integrate seamlessly with the VMS to deliver an exceptional user experience.
